Negli ultimi anni, le esigenze della knowledge economy e le trasformazioni globali della Higher Education hanno indotto cambiamenti sostanziali nel dottorato italiano. Da un modello «tradizionale», monodisciplinare, volto a formare future ricercatrici e ricercatori e rivolto a pochi individui che imparavano grazie all’affiancamento di un «maestro», si sta passando ad uno più «moderno», interdisciplinare, connesso con realtà produttive e di servizi, rivolto a più soggetti e incentrato su una formazione attenta all’employability. L’analisi desk dei 62 dottorati di area Education mostra una situazione ancora molto eterogenea; la professionalizzazione ha importanza e spazio crescente ma le strategie per perseguirla risultano molto diversificate e diffuse a macchia di leopardo.

Abstract
In recent years, the needs of the knowledge economy and the global transformations of Higher Education have induced substantial changes in the Italian doctoral programme. From a ‘traditional’, mono-disciplinary model, aimed at training future researchers and aimed at a few candidates who learnt with the help of a teacher, there has been a shift towards a more ‘modern’, interdisciplinary model, connected with productive and service realities, aimed at several candidates and focused on training that cares for employability, also in non-academic contexts. The desk analysis of the 62 doctoral programmes in the Education area shows a situation that is still very heterogeneous; professionalisation is gaining in relevance and space, but the strategies for pursuing it are very diversified and localized.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
